ia, and situated forty-five miles southwest of Harrisburg. It was a large and prosperous place, having a good water power, improved for propelling cotton and woolen factories, flouring mills, paper mills and other manufacturing establishments. We learn that the Yankees threaten to burn Fredericksburg in retaliation; but they have nearly ruined that town already, and perhaps they had better try their hand on Richmond — a city that would have long ago been laid in ashes but for slight obstacles in the way. A Baltimore paper of the 1st heads its account of the invasion thus: "Invasion of Pennsylvania.--Chambersburg in Ashes.--Three Thousand Persons Rendered Houseless. --Great Excitement at Harrisburg.--The Rebels Driven Back by Averill," &c., &c. The same paper speaks of an expedition towards Wheeling, under Breckinridge. We are somewhat surprised that the Yankee papers admit a defeat in front of Petersburg on Saturday. It is an instance of honesty rare among that people.
